Early Life
Zahiduzzaman was born in Dhaka, Bangladesh in 1978 to Abu Sayed Nuruzzaman and Ziaun Nahar. The family emigrated to Montreal, Canada and his mother later gave birth to Zahiduzzaman’s younger sister, Shibly Nahar. He played ice hockey for PEYO between 1991 and 1994 before resigning due to injury.

Education
As a result of his interest in the human mind, Zahiduzzaman chose to pursue psychology early on. He studied social science at John Abbott College (CEGEP), and received his Diplôme d'études en langue française (DELF) from Université Laval in 2001. In 2003, he graduated from the University of Windsor with a Bachelor’s of Arts in Psychology. Zahiduzzaman is fluent in Bengali, English, and French.

Montreal Federation of Bangladeshi Students (MFBS)
Due to his psychology work at the University of Windsor, Zahiduzzaman founded the Montreal Federation of Bangladeshi Students (MFBS). A non-profit organization, the MFBS focused on creating a positive and motivating environment for students in order to facilitate their personal, educational, and professional goals. The MFBS was initially supported by local Bangladeshi businesses and community members, but due to a decrease in funding during its later years, the organization was forced to shut its doors and remove its listing from the Registraire des Entreprises du Quebec. The organization’s soccer team was maintained, and went on to win several community and league tournaments and medals.

Zahiduzzaman was recognized for his services to the Bangladeshi community in 2002.

Career and Personal Life
Though his initial career experiences were in the field of banking and finance, Zahiduzzaman’s experience and knowledge of psychology led him to pursue his current career as an official of labor standards within the Government of Quebec. In 2009, Zahiduzzaman married Nadia Sultana, who later gave birth to their daughter Samiya. The couple has since separated.
